Other / unspecified reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED JULY 2018, SINCE THEN IVE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES. THE TIRE ARE MADE BY CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY. THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME HE THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE CASES OF FLAT TIRES FOR THE CONTINENTAL BRAND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SALESMAN "THERE IS A FOAM LINING USE FOR VIBRATION DAMPENING WHICH HAS COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE". AT $ 400 PER TIRE, HE WAS BOTH CONCERNED AND HAPPY TO SEE SALES INCREASE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONE TIRE HAD A SIDE BULGE AND I DROVE WITHOUT NOTICING FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG,, THE OTHER 2 FLATS HAPPENED GOING OVER 1 POT HOLE.ON A SIDE STREET GOING 25 MPH. AS A RESULT I WONT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IM GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE I EXCEED 45 MPH DUE TO THE DANGER OF GETTING A FLAT GOING FASTER.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO TIRE SIDEWALL FAILURES (RIGHT FRONT AND REAR) RESULTING IN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE AND THE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH TIRES (CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX). ONE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE OTHER WAS DETECTED WHILE PARKED. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURY. THERE WAS LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON THE TIRES.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I DISCOVERED THE RIGHT FRONT CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX OEM TIRE HAD A 21/2" GASH IN THE SIDEWALL. I THOUGHT THIS STRANGE, BUT I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED. WHEN I RETURNED HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT SIDEWALL FAILURES ARE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. I WILL SAY THAT I HAD HIT A POTHOLE, WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR, WEEKS BEFORE MY TIRE FAILED. I HAVE HIT MANY POTHOLES OVER THE YEARS, WHILE DRIVING OTHER CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE FAILURE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FLAW IN THIS TIRE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET IN REGARDS TO THIS SIDEWALL ISSUE. I'VE INCLUDED SOME FROM A GENESIS OWNER'S GROUP FORUM. I'VE ALSO INCLUDED MY REPAIR RECEIPT AS EVIDENCE THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE. EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES HAD LESS THAN 10K MILES ON THEM, I'VE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL OF THE CONTINENTAL TIRES WITH MICHELIN TIRES DUE TO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS BRAND OF TIRE. I DO BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS TIRE IS WARRANTED, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WEAKNESS OF THE SIDEWALL.
